APWA called the passage “swift,” adding that it also commends the provisions included in the bill that streamline and speed up the project approval process.

“WRRDA’s reforms will shorten the time it takes to complete projects, save taxpayers money, and ensure that environmental quality is not diminished,” APWA President Ed Gottko, PWLF, said in a written statement.

The House passed WRRDA, or H.R. 3080, last Wednesday with a vote of 417 to 3. The bill is the first water infrastructure spending legislation the House has passed in six years.
